The initial setup is very simple and straightforward. it's not difficult or complex. 

The deployment takes about three days or so.

I found it straightforward. Usually, I search for instructions on how to set it up, and I follow them. If those instructions are missing for specific cases, it could be difficult.

It approximately takes two days for a complete setup, which doesn't include fine-tuning. We deploy the hardware appliances or the software appliances. We run the pilot for a group of users. We filter out all the policies, and then we apply the best policies. After that, we fine-tune it.

The initial setup for Forcepoint Email Security was straightforward, though I'm unable to give more information on deployment because it was set up fifteen years ago.

Initial setupis quite complex and you need Forepoint professionalsupport to install. You only need one person to handle the maintenance of the product. It's not too complicated or maintenance-heavy.

The initial setup is not that complex. Once we had integrated everything broadly we didn't face any issues. However, when, for example, we have power issues, we face issues booting back up.

We found the initial setup to be very simple and straightforward. it's not overly complex or difficult. I'd rate the experience a four out of five in terms of ease of implementation.

In terms of deployment, if you don't face any problems with the database or any other internal issues, including the network, then it will take around two to three days.

You only need two people to deploy the solution. No more than that.

The deployment process is very simple, very straightforward. It's not a complex or difficult process. A company shouldn't have any issues with it.

The implementation took us about two weeks. It wasn't a very long, drawn-out process.

We have a few engineers that can easily handle the deployment and maintenance process.

The initial setup was a bit complex and inefficient as it requires access to all programs in order to deploy and can take up to 5 business days.

The installation is not straightforward. For an on-premise setup, there are less components which need to be setup. For this setup, you will need four or five servers for it to work. It would have been simpler to have one or two boxes. You also need to have a good understanding of how Forcepoint works. 

It takes 45 hours to deploy.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

The length of time required for deployment depends on the number of appliances, or the number of devices, that are being deployed. I would say that it takes approximately one day for each appliance. 

One person is enough to deploy this solution, and it would be good to have two people for maintenance and management.
